Hi Tim 

Thanks, the one I want to setup is the one that allows other sites to harvest 
metadata from dspace. I will read on the web sites you gave me and see if I 
succeed in doing that.

Regards,
Lewatle

Lewatle,

It's unclear to me which OAI interface you are trying to use?  There are 
two of them in DSpace:

(1) There is the OAI-PMH interface.  This allows other sites or services 
to harvest metadata *from* DSpace.  This interface is pre-built and 
pre-configured in DSpace.  All you need to do is make sure Tomcat loads 
the [dspace]/webapps/oai/ web interface.

More info in these two areas of the docs:
* 
http://www.dspace.org/1_6_2Documentation/ch12.html#docbook-application.html-oai
* http://www.dspace.org/1_6_2Documentation/ch12.html#N174FE

(2) There is the new OAI-ORE based Collection Harvesting.  This allows 
DSpace to harvest content from another external OAI-PMH or OAI-ORE 
interface.  This is enabled by creating a Collection which harvests from 
another location (after creating a Collection, visit the "Content 
Source" tab, and choose the "This collection harvests its contents from 
an external source").  More info in these two areas of the docs:

* http://www.dspace.org/1_6_2Documentation/ch05.html#N14BE2
* http://www.dspace.org/1_6_2Documentation/ch07.html#N15846

Please let us know what information is unclear in the documentation, and 
we'll try to help answer your questions.

- Tim
